>> W Magazine > Jake Gyllenhaal on His First Kiss, His Love for Dogs, and Halloween: In this Screen Tests interview, 'Stronger' actor Jake Gyllenhaal talks about his Halloween costumes designed by his dad (who worked with artist Red Grooms), dressing up as Elvis Presley and using Manic Panic to dye his hair with his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, his first kiss, his grandfather's glorious first date, his love for dogs, the proud moment he had when his dog was finally housebroken, his porn name, and how he tried to get out of a speeding ticket after playing a cop in 'End of Watch'.

>> Variety: Dear Academy: Don’t Overlook These Great Performances >
Take Jake Gyllenhaal in “Stronger.” Here is one of the year’s most critically acclaimed films (93% on Rotten Tomatoes), dealing in a well-worn, Oscar-friendly genre (a biopic centered on a disabled person who beats the odds), featuring another great turn from an actor who has delivered a number of awards-caliber performances lately that have gone unrecognized by the Academy (“Prisoners,” “Nightcrawler,” “End of Watch”). What’s it going to take to put his name on the ballot?

>> The Hollywood Reporter > Awards Chatter: Jake Gyllenhaal
The dashing Oscar nominee looks back on 25 years in the biz, from kid parts ('City Slickers') to teen roles ('Donnie Darko') to his first grown-up characters ('Brokeback Mountain'); lessons learned from the flop of 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'; and how recalibrating his approach led to a streak of great performances ('Source Code,' 'End of Watch,' 'Prisoners,' 'Nightcrawler,' 'Southpaw,' 'Nocturnal Animals' and 'Stronger').
